Distinguishing Portions of Output from Multiple Hosts

1. A method comprising: receiving a command, the processing of the command generating a character string; issuing to each computer in a set of computers the command for independent processing of the command by each computer; receiving, from the set of computers, a set of character strings responsive to the command; assigning a similarity score to each character string, the similarity score representing a relative similarity of the character strings in the set of character strings, each similarity score being determined by: comparing a scoring character string to each other character string in the set of character strings, wherein the scoring character string and the other character string are generated responsive to the command; and incrementing in a uniform manner the similarity score for the scoring character string for each other character string that is different than the scoring character string; generating a first display of the first command and identifiers of the set of computers, the display including the assigned similarity scores of each character string received from the set of computers; and generating a second display by overlaying each character string in the set of character strings.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least a computer of the set of computers is a virtual machine.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: inputting the command as a text string through an overall view area; and feeding the text string to each computer in the set of computers.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein: inputting the command as a text string through a single view area from among a plurality of single view areas; and feeding the text string through the single view area to a corresponding computer of the set of computers having the pre-defined output portion displayed in the single view area.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: emphasizing the overlaid character strings if the similarity score assigned to one character string is different from the similarity score assigned to each other character string.
